I'd say 3500 printed... 3K sold in the store and 500 for family/friends/charity/giveaways

Fuck those assholes whose only intent is to make money on the resale market.
Most of us want one, just because it’s Pearl Jam and because we love Pearl Jam. It used to be that you could just buy one. Benaroya was in the store for a while because not everyone one wanted it. Same with beach towels and skateboard decks.
Now, the resale price is a major factor. We see people buying up stuff to sell on EBay. It used to be we’d pickup an extra poster or shirt at a gig and sell it to our friends here in the forum for cost +shipping because strangers here were considered friends we’ve never met.
i understand the draw, money, money, money. But, it doesn’t mean I have to like it.
I'm happy to read about all of the fans here getting a copy, without having to feed the greed machine.
Thanx, 10/VHC for selling me this at face value. I missed out on the Record Store copy because I knew that there was no fucking way I’d be able to compete with the resellers who spent the night at the store. But, I did get to see Mike play a T.Rex song that day, in my favorite record store. Which was good enough for me. This copy is an added plus.
Thanx. Much appreciated.

Benaroya was in the store?  That's crazy...before my time here

Benaroya was is the store, but the website crashed that day due to traffic and you had to be really lucky to snag one. It didn't sit in the store at all it was gone as soon as the site came back up.

It was? What I remember was I  placed an order at 3am EST that morning and it was still available for purchase at 10am EST, 7 hours later.
